A Community United: Finding Hope and Help in Palm Beach County
In challenging times, the strength of a community shines brightest when we come together. Right now, many of our neighbors in Palm Beach County are facing the very real stress of food insecurity. It’s a situation that can feel overwhelming and isolating, but please know this: you are not alone, and help is available.
The Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners, County Administration and our incredible network of County Partners are coming together with a shared mission: to ensure residents in need have access to food for their families, not just in the next few weeks, but ongoing.
We are mobilizing resources and sharing information on how and where to find support, because caring for our community is a collective responsibility.
Connecting with Resources
If you or someone you know needs assistance, several vital tools are available to connect you with food resources:
- United Way’s Food Finder Map:This essential tool allows you to type in your zip code and instantly find food pantries and distribution sites across the county. The map is updated regularly, ensuring you have the most current information. You can access it here: https://unitedwaypbc.org/get-help/hunger-assistance/palm-beach-county-food-finder
